Owner/Head Coach

TAYLOR JOHNSON

Taylor is an owner and head coach at Man O’War Fitness. Starting at the tender age of 6, he’s led an active lifestyle that’s consisted of track, Olympic Weightlifting, and even bowling. In 2007, he began his career as a personal trainer where he worked with high school, collegiate, and professional athletes. A few years later, a friend introduced him to the CrossFit Games which immediately piqued his interest.
Taylor started doing his own CrossFit workouts before joining forces with Jason to start their own affiliate. “As a coach, my main motivation for coming in the gym is to help our members reach their goals and be the healthiest they can be. I’m consistently inspired by their progress and drive. They always want to do more, so they can be more.”

JASON LAYNE

Jason is an owner and head trainer at Man O’ War Fitness. He’s a lifetime athlete with competitive experience in basketball, baseball, and football, as well as combat sports such as wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts. After two traumatic injuries (ACL tears) Jason was forced to stop competing and shift his focus to sport specific coaching and personal training.
“In 2008 I began working with general population clientele as well as amateur MMA athletes. By 2010, I was coaching mostly professional fighters and collegiate athletes at a premier sport specific training facility (HIIT Center).” Jason’s time there served as a gateway to CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting. By 2012, he and Taylor Johnson had opened their own affiliate, and have been changing lives ever since!

CLAYTON WARD

Clayton has always been enthusiastic about athletics. In high school, he played football and ran track. Later, he began climbing, boxing, Olympic weightlifting, and anything else that could keep his attention. After graduating college, Clayton met Jason, one of the owners of Man O’ War Fitness. “He convinced me to quit my office job and come work with him. We slowly transitioned to CrossFit because it was the right mix of functional fitness and competitive training.” Clayton is passionate about helping those who want to help themselves. He also believes in staying on top of the latest fitness trends and methods. Education is the key to success for both himself and his clients.
